Tiger Woods suspended from driving for five years after striking plea deal

Tiger Woods was suspended from driving for five years and handed a fine as the golfing icon struck a plea deal at a Florida court Wednesday morning in connection with a rollover crash in March.

The four-time PGA Championship winner, 50, pleaded guilty to reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test at Marin County circuit court, just north of Palm Beach County.

Wearing a dark blue suit and patterned blue tie, Woods looked grim-faced but said nothing as he entered the court alongside his girlfriend Vanessa Trump amid a throng of reporters.

In court, he spoke only to confirm that he had read the deal.

Woods previously pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence after his Land Rover clipped a truck and rolled onto its side while traveling at high speeds on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island.

The troubled golfer told an arresting officer at the time that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck, after crawling out of his vehicle uninjured.

Woods’ breathalyzer test showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and showed signs of impairment.

Two pain pills were found in his pocket by deputies, a sheriff’s office report said.

In July, Judge Darren Steele approved an agreement allowing prosecutors to review medical records related to Woods’ crash and arrest.

A similar agreement signed off in May granted prosecutors access to all prescription records for Woods at a Palm Beach pharmacy from the start of the year through the end of March.
